Former New Orleans Saints running backs Audric Estime and Devin Neal have both joined the Minnesota Vikings practice squad after unexpectedly being released by their previous team, leaving fans puzzled, especially in light of a recent injury to Travis Etienne. The situation has highlighted concerns about the Saints’ current running back depth, with Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller set to take on larger roles and CJ Donaldson and Zamir White providing additional, but less dynamic, support. Although the group is considered serviceable, the absence of promising young talents like Estime and Neal has diminished the unit’s upside as the team prepares for its upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons.
